Audrey Hepburn arriving in Turkey

In August 1988 Audrey made a trip to Turkey. The priority in Turkey was immunization against the six main child-killing diseases: measles, tuberculosis, tetanus, whooping cough, diphtheria and polio. After they had notified the government that their infant mortality was very high, a total immunization program was planned. Audrey said, "The army gave us their trucks, the fishmongers gave us their wagons for the vaccines, and once the date was set, it took ten days to vaccinate the whole country. Not bad."

Everytime I see Audrey like this I have to stop myself from crying. She has been such an inspiration for me, I guess for a lot of women and girls. There will never be someone like Audrey again. Never...

Thanks for this videos. Each time I see Audrey such a job, for Uniceff..I feel that God sent her for a while, to the Earth. Like an Angel. I can tell you how humble and lovely she was, because I met her in Paris, in 1978. And I had some little chatting with her. I coudn,t believe that the lady I was speaking was Audrey!!. She was like a long time friend. Beautiful people, outside and inside is rare, but sometimes..exists. Such is the case with Audrey. Thanks, lovely video. Carlos
